Halna couldn't help but smile back. Lavinia's grin was infectious! "Their jawa juice is pretty good, too," she remarked. She hoped Lavinia hadn't figured out that there was more to her than met the eye, but she was pretty sure her hopes were in vain. With Danny there distracting her, (she blushed inwardly), she hadn't been able to keep up her perfected facade the entire time. She worried she was slipping, something that usually proved fatal in her line of work.

Lavinia shrugged. "I've never really enjoyed jawa juice myself, but my friend Ann likes it, I believe." She paused, searching for a way to continue the conversation without giving anything away. She was fairly sure she trusted Halna, but she didn't know much about Danny, and Abiran didn't quite trust him either... "And you, Miss Panal?" she continued, deciding to stick to the subject. "What is your refreshment of choice?"

Miss Panal shrugged. "Oh, I like jawa juice. Although Ruge is my favorite..." She allowed herself a small smile. "Anyways, I would like to see where the shooting took place. You never know what we might find." Halna felt Danny pulling at her hand again. She relented this time. Turning to go she said, "I think we're going to get something to drink. I'll talk to you later!"

Lavinia smiled. "Oh, I do love a good Ruge myself!" She waved to Halna and Danny. "It was good to see you, Halna." Turning back to the PI, she nodded thoughtfully. "I'm sure that can be arranged. Abiran, you remember where it was, don't you? I'm sure I could find it eventually, but you were flying." Abiran grunted. "I think so. The shot seemed to come from the old Kirreja building, about the two hundred and tenth story."

Halna plopped down on a stool beside Danny as Dex walked up and leaned on the counter. "Haven't seen you around in a while, Halna!" he smiled a toothy grin, that would have had a lesser woman quaking in her boots. She smiled back. Dex glanced over to Danny and raised an eyebrow. Her eyes widened as she realized what he was thinking. She opened her mouth to stop him but it was too late... "It's nice to see Halna here finally has herself a young man," Dex extended a large hand to Danny, "What's your name, son?"

Lavinia tried not to glance over to where Halna and Danny were sitting, but she couldn't help overhearing the Besalisk behind the counter greet her enthusiastically. I suppose that would be Dex, she thought, and then stifled a smile. So I was right. He is her "young man", no matter what Abiran thought. She realized that she was eavesdropping, and tried to return her attention to her own table.

Miss Panal nodded to Abiran. "Maybe you could take me by there later, after I check into my hotel," she said. She wondered about Nurse Louvellu and Mr. Paddie as she sent a side glance in their direction.
Halna's blush rivaled her crimson waves as she covered her face with a hand. "No, no, Dex. It's not like that!" she replied. Danny extended a hand to Dex. "Danny Paddie," he said with a ghost of a smile.

Abiran nodded brusquely. "I can do that." Lavinia frowned. "You haven't checked into your hotel yet?" She glanced at her chrono. "Oh, well, no, I don't suppose you would be yet. I'm sorry. Where are you staying?" She glanced toward the counter to see Halna blush deeply and Danny shaking hands with the Besalisk.

"At the Coruscant Hotel. It's in the Fobosi District, I think," Miss Panal replied, "Do you know where it is? Maybe you could drop me off."
Dex took Danny's hand in a bonecrushing grasp. "Not like what? Don't crush my hopes, Halna." Danny laughed, but shook his head. "No, she's right. It's not like that. We're just friends." Halna felt her chest tightened at his claim, even though she knew it was the truth.

Abiran nodded. "Yes, the northeast end." Lavinia tried to keep her attention on her guest instead of Halna. "It would be no trouble at all," she added, smiling warmly. "Would you like to go now?"

Halna ran a hand along her face. She glanced at her wristchrono and gasped. "Danny!" she shrieked as quietly as a shriek can be, "Look at the time! We better get going!" She hopped off her stool. Danny cast a sidelong glance at her as she hurried him out the door, calling a goodbye to Dex and to Lavinia - Miss Baab - over her shoulder, but he allowed her to lead him outside.
Miss Panal quickly finished off her drink and nodded, grabbing her purse. "That'd be great," she replied.

Lavinia waved to Halna and then turned back to the PI. "We're parked right outside. Abiran can just pull the speeder around." Abiran slid out of the booth. "This way, Miss Panal. Where are your bags?"

Miss Panal pointed to the counter where one small duffel bag rested discreetly on the floor. "Over there," she said, sliding out of her seat. She flipped a few credits onto the table to cover her drink and ran a hand through her hair. She bit her lip trying to decide what to do. She decided to throw subtlety to the wind and dive right in, "How much do you know about your nurse and her friend?" she asked cryptically.

Abiran slung the bag over his shoulder as Lavinia placed her own creds on the tabletop. "Not much. She's a nurse, she works at the Fobosi District Medcenter, and he's a senator's son. Abiran knows more about him than I do, although he's not telling me."

Panal's eyebrows shot up at least an inch. "A senator's son?!" She hissed. "Are you serious?" She looked like she'd just had the wind knocked out of her. "What aren't you saying Abiran?" she questioned the pilot, curiously.
